If you love your family member, absolutely do not send them to River View on the Appomattox. My…read moregrandmother, who suffers from dementia and cannot advocate for herself, has been a resident here for over two years. In just the last 3 months alone, their negligence has resulted in her being rushed to the hospital 5 separate times. The staff consistently fails to provide the most basic, life-sustaining care. She has suffered from severe, life-threatening dehydration and preventable UTIs because the staff simply will not offer her water or change her adult diapers for hours on end. There have been days she was left slumped over and unresponsive in her wheelchair all day, and the staff never even bothered to call her emergency contact. Basic hygiene, like scheduled showers and washing her hair, is ignored for weeks at a time. The turnover is incredibly high, the aides are completely overworked, and management's promises to do better are completely empty. We have officially filed complaints with the Virginia Department of Health and the State Ombudsman. Do not trust this facility with someone's life.

i have no idea whats going on in this place, but it needs help. i went there to visit a loved one…read moreand as soon as i walked into the building it smelled old, rank, mildewed and out right dirty. The bed my loved one was assigned was not adequate for anyone to sleep on. There was one bathroom that was shared between her, her roommate and the adjoining room patients. So, two persons to a room with one bathroom = four person to one toilet and the toilet wouldn't flush and needed someone to pour buckets of water in it after each use in order for the waste to be flushed away. The food looked dry and old, there was no shower in the room, i had to bath my love one myself while i was there visiting, I truly understand the under - staffing issue due to no funds. I believe this assisted living center is mostley occupied by the poor, those who receive medicaid or some sort of medicare. That's no excuse to give improper care of lack of. Every employee there recieves a paycheck for a service, whether big or small. do the job you were hired to do and do it to the best of your ability and if you have no idea what to do , MANAGEMENT is the ISSUE..

If it were possible to give a place 0 zero stars, then know that I would have done so in a heartbeat. From the director of nursing to the so-called administrator, I have never seen a more unprofessional group of people in my working career. Nor have I worked in a more hostile working environment in all my life. Given everything that we have been thru as health professionals last year with Covid-19 and lockdown you would think they would treat staff better. Instead the staff are constantly subjected to lack of appropriate staffing to safely manage/care for residents. The staff is expected to lift heavy residents without the appropriate safety equipment at risk to their own health. Staff are also subjected to punitive actions instead of initial warnings creating an environment in which staff fear making a mistake. The staff also fear for their jobs when making the decision whether to call out if they are ill or have a family emergency because the Director of Nursing has been known to threaten employees to come into work. Never have I experienced a Director of Nursing who seems to only care about the look of being a DON versus the actual work it entails. One could almost say she is on a power trip. If you are unable to put in the work yourself, how can you possibly be an effective Director of Nursing? Her leadership style screams more autocratic then servant leadership. In addition, the supposed administrator is of no help as well, having created an environment where staff cannot express complaints without harsh rebukes. In any working environment staff should feel at ease to voice complaints/concerns. They should be made to feel like their leadership personnel have a welcoming door to come into. However, this is not the case here, instead staff feel unable to address any issues, they constantly worry about facing punitive actions with no warning, and they cannot rely on their leadership to act like leaders instead of dictators. If this was years ago, I would happily tell you to send your loved one here because the staff loved their jobs and the leadership was great. However, BEWARE!!! Until there is a huge shake up and major changes made, I sadly must recommend you don't send your loved ones here!
